Before installing Amiga Apache 1.3

There are several packages you need to install before installing Apache. Some of the packages are just handy, others are needed to operate the server. If you don't have any experience with Apache or the Geek Gadgets project by Fred Fish, we suggest that you download all packages.

WARNING!!!

If you want to connect your Amiga to the Internet and want to use Apache, install the MultiUserFileSystem (MUFS) for security reasons!!! Installing instructions are in the Multuser archive.

Quick guide to Installing the GG and Apache environment

After downloading the above packages you need to install them. You can either make a partition on your hd where the GG-files are stored or make a directory where you can put all the 'unix' programs from the GG distribution. I suggest making a partition called 'GG' or a directory somewhere called 'GG'. Make sure you have enough room for the files on your harddisk.

First of all you need to install the utilities from the utilities.lha archive. extract them to ram: Put the untgz and the executehack utilities in C: and put the unixdirs3 and unixdirs3.info file in the SYS:WBstartup directory (you can also add an entry in your S:user-startup: unixdirs3 WILDSTAR UNIXROOT).

Then make in the GG directory/partition the following directories:

And make these directories in the USR: directory:

USR/LOCAL
USR/LOCAL/APACHE

The above two directories are not necessary, but handy because of the place where Apache will be installed in the regular unix versions, so reading the Apache documentation will be a bit less confusing.

Otherwise, make somewhere else a directory 'apache'.

Make assignments to these directories in your user-startup:

	Assign GG:  yourpath/GG (in case you use a directory GG) 
	Assign BIN: GG:BIN
	Assign ETC: GG:ETC
	Assign USR: GG:USR
	Assign LIB: GG:LIB
	Assign MAN: GG:MAN
	Assign TMP: GG:TMP
	Assign DEV: GG:DEV       
	Assign ADE: GG: (for compatiblity reasons)

	Assign APACHE: usr:local/apache

        (or assign the APACHE: assignment to a directory of your choice)

And add this line too:

	PATH BIN: LIB: ETC: TMP: USR: GG: ADD

Copy all the archives to GG: and extract them with the 'untgz' utility. For example:

	untgz perl-5.004_03-bin.tgz

extracts and installs the perl archive. After this the GG environment is ready to use by the server. Read also the GG-docs-0.5 documentation!
